Uploaded PETs

April 07, 2010 — BarryK
The PET packages that I have mentioned in recent posts have now all been uploaded to my Quirky ibiblio.org site:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/pet_packages-quirky/

I will be uploading the latest Woof soon. One little detail about Woof, when you build a puppy, one of the scripts (1download I think) downloads kernel PET packages, but only from the 'puppylinux' repository at ibiblio.org. I will fix this, but in the meantime you will have to manually download the 2.6.33.2 kernel PET package from the above URL -- download it to the 'packages-pet' directory in Woof.

Another note about Woof. I have set it up so that the scripts look in the quirky repository first for PET packages, then falls back to the puppylinux repository. To understand the search algorithm, examine script 'findwoofinstalledpkgs'. Also, 'DISTRO_PET_REPOS' has the repository search order.
